West Ham
It would be an extraordinary coup if the Hammers managed to sign Felix, demonstrating their intent to compete with the big boys.

Juventus
Many thought Juventus were had finally found the missing piece of the Champions League puzzle when they signed Cristiano Ronaldo, but they once again fell short in their bid to triumph in Europe for the first time since 1996.
However, they are the club who are favourites to sign Felix and the dime who has lit up Portuguese football could do what Ronaldo couldn’t and help the Old Lady to glory in Europe’s elite competition.
The teenager could slot into their formation in an attacking midfield role, dovetailing with compatriot Ronaldo and alternating positions, Miralem Pjanic and Blaise Matuidi can be uilised as the more defensive midfielders, allowing Felix to come in, while width would be provided by Alex Sandro and Juan Cuadrado at wing-back.
